Treatment of Tourists Needs
ImDrovina With Jet Airlines
By ELMER C- WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York -ITPD- The jet
age will provide five-billion
dollars worth of high-speed
planes for low-cost travel
that could make for a better
understanding among nations.
But none of the nations has
produced even a round wheel
in travel so far as their treat
ment of tourists goes.
So the whole thing may end
up with the tourist finding
there's no place like home,
says Horace Sutton, travel ed
itor of Saturday Review.
Saturday Review's current
Issue features the jet age with
a series of articles by experts
who point up .the good and
bad of jet traf el.
The jets , will provide a
smooth trip and the travelers
to Europe will find curren
cies adjusted to help them and
the nations they visit.
But that's where it ends.
The troubles include, Sutton
points out, such things as
bureaucrats taxing the travelers-visas,
ticket taxes, em
barkations taxes, landing tax
es, head taxes, tourist cards,
medical taxes, sales taxes,
stamp taxes, and myriad oth
ers to say nothing of the
many forms to fill out, bag
gage rummaging by customs
men and so on.
Sutton notes that the Unit
ed States is an arch offender
along with others. And you
ought to ee what the Latin
American nations do to the
tourist.
The World's Pigeon
"The traveler," Sutton says
"has become the world's pig
eon. Never was a moving tar
get easier to plug. But the
jet-age tourist, if the airlines
are to fill those yawning seats,
will come from a different
social scale. He will be a man
who has been conditioned to
work hard for his money and
is not quite so easily parted
from it.
"Dun him, do him, tax him,
and tax him, and he may get
the idea very soon in the
game that there really is no
place like home."
Edward Barrett, former as
sistant secretary of state and
now dean of Columbia School
of Journalism, in his article
for the Review, hit3 at our
complex passport system, be
cause "in the mass of rules,
regulations, rulings and pro
cedures, ordinary horse sense
has been eclipsed."
He holds this nation "should
be extremely reluctant to in
terfere with the constitution
al right of free travel in peace
time" of U. S. citizens or to
impede visits to this country
Medford Man Bound
Over To Grand Jury
Bob Bryant, also known as
Robert Paul Bryant, 25, of
718 Gilman rd., was bound
over to the grand jury Mon
day following preliminary
hearing in district court on
a charge of burglary not in
a dwelling.
Bryant and John Robert
Conger, 23, of 211 Cottage st.,
were arrested by sheriffs dep
uties Dec. 29 in connection
with the entry of Becker's
Drug store, Gold Hill, Dec.
r.
Both are being held in the
county jail under $1,500 bail
each.
Conger waived preliminary
hearing in an earlier appearance.
STATESMEN, PERHAPS
Albany, N. Y. OJPD An in
formation booklet just releas
ed shows that not one of 58
senators and 149 assembly
men in the New York state
legislature lists his occupa
tion as "politician."
by the friendly citizens of
other nations.
James J. Haggerty, Jr., for
mer aviation editor of Col
liers, stresses the inadequacy
of air traffic control.
But, he notes, despite this
horse-and-buggy system, air
travel is surprisingly safe to
day, thanks to the dedication
of air-traffic controllers.
Statistical Safety
Statistically, he says, "you
are 22 times as safe in a com
mercial airliner, the congest
ed airways notwithstanding,
as you are in the family auto."
Nicholas L. Deak, president
of Perera company, foreign
currency exchange, tells what
the new European currency
changes mean to the tourist.
Devaluation of the franc,
means a tourist, for a time,
perhops 60 to 90 days, will
be able to buy French goods
17.55 per cent cheaper than
he could before Christmas.
But prices will rise and by
the time the summer rush
begins, the advantage very
likely will have evaporated,
he says.
Of more importance, is the
move, of ten free European
nations to make their' curren
cies convertible for foreign
ers. One doesn't have to take
currencies with him in travel.
He can buy them with his
dollars and get dollars back
when he leaves if he has any
foreign money left. That does
not apply in Spain and the
traveler will save 20 per cent
by taking along some pesetas,
Editorially, the Saturday
Review notes that some fifty
million people move annually
across national frontiers, and
urges their lot be made easiei?
so that they can in the words
of President Eisenhower help
in the search for world peace
and promotion of well-being
and security among nations.
